Adam, don’t forget women rock! Perhaps that’s why you draw bug often trying to "get" with a woman. If men haven’t figured out women by now, well, they never will. Remember men and women are opposites of the same. However, perception is only as good as the communication between the same. Therefore, if a man thinks a woman “knows not†then perhaps the man should look at what he “knows notâ€.
Peace out brother, just keep doing what you do and you will find it. (Apartment or partner. Don't forget time tells all)
I hate it when women generalize all men into the "durr hurr I gots muscles, can we sleep together now?" type. Ladies, if you want a real partner, someone who will care for you, get a nerd. Seriously. Check this link out: http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/66795671…
haha seriously, Ms. notme? I'm a girl as well as you and I found this comic hilarious. I often talk with my guy friends about how much harder it is for us than men. Guys get to wake up, brush their teeth and leave the house. How long do you spend on your morning routine? And I DO have everything I need in my purse because it's convenient for me; my friends that are men shove things into their pockets until their pants look like suitcases.
Wow, generalizing much? That's pleasant. Men can be twice as sensitive as other people. Equally, women can be twice as shallow. And vice versa. You keep putting people in boxes, see how that works out for you.
First, I love men, I love nerds (I miss my nerd), and I know not of boxes to place people in. I find it amusing when others project stereotypes for justifications of ones own “boxâ€.
This woman can wake up shower and walk out the door. Superficiality spans both sexes. I know men whom spend a considerable amount of time “primping†and worrying about maturing. Sensitivity and compassion is a strength for a man (if he’s not afraid to show/share it)
Adam, you have an awesome comic, it gets people laughing about life.

I recall reading an article where scientists were able to lead women though mental exercises that caused them to be able to orgasm on command. Instant orgasm by sitting around and thinking. Just saying.
Ms.notme lol there is not much to say about men. I have tried that except I give women lots of credit but they still have so many defintions for one word. Guys are just dumb I will admit it. But we are programmed to think in just a few directions. Unlike you women who think in all directions and use your purse to keep the directions straight.
You rock Solar, men and women are the opposite and should never try to understand the other. Men forget us women have just about everything men need in our purses. Whether it is a tissue, a snack or, the new version of video game women and men think in opposites. Therefore, finding common ground/time is the key to finding balance within two opposites. 🙂
A couple of days ago, my brother wrote me the following on MSN:
"Today Google says "Celebrating 90 years since the ratification of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing women the right to vote" on the front page – I'm not sure I understand their humor.."
All you can think of? Really Adam? I know this was probably done for humor, but I can think of a dozen advantages to being a woman. I'd list them all, but many can be summed up by a statement I heard a while back: any time a double standard favors a man, it's sexism. Any time a double standard favors a woman, it's chivalry.
It seems like you didn't even try very hard for this one. But it's still funny as hell. It's great how the most minimal amount of material in a comic can make one laugh so hard. I raise my glass to you sir!
I was going to point out that women get the advantage of boobs… but it seems from the other comments that we're already known for our boobs and large purses alone. Someday those two characteristics will come together in the perfect storm and we shall rule the world! (or not)
Wow, shows just how smart men are when it comes to the female gender. All those are just things portrayed by women on TV shows. TV shows that were no doubt written by men.
Why that’s not necessarily true, coming from a woman:
Men can play with toys all their life.-So can I.
Men can go grocery shopping or to the mall without spending 400$.-So can I.
Men can wear shorts no matter what their legs look like.-So can I.
Men are harder to screw over at the mechanics or car dealerships.-I happen to have a mechanic that’s actually trustworthy. How about you?
Men have one wallet and one pair of shoes which are good for every season.-So do I.
Men can do nearly all household maintenance with duct tape, pliers, and WD40.-No, you really can’t.
Men can choose whether or not to grow a mustache.-Okay, you got me there.
Men can go to the bathroom by themselves.-So can I.
Men can “do” their fingernails with a pocket knife.-I can “do” my fingernails with my other fingernails.
Men’s bellies usually hide their large hips.-And that’s a good thing?
Chocolate is just another snack.-Me too. (Plus, if you do it right, it’s actually healthy!)
The whole garage belongs to them.-No, it really doesn’t.
Weddings take care of themselves.-No, they really don’t.
Men’s last name never changes.-It’s called a “hyphenated last name.” It changes the name of both people. Also, Rory Pond, anyone?
Everything on a man’s face stays its original color.-It does? What about a beard or moustache?
Men only have to shave their faces and necks.-I don’t even have to shave that.
Men can keep the same hairstyle for years, even decades.-So can I.
Men can do their Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on Christmas Eve in 25 minutes.-No, you really can’t.
For men, wrinkles, scars, and gray hairs add character.-I suppose occasionally, if you do it in moderation. But still, not necessarily.
Men can go on a week’s vacation and pack only one suitcase.-I bet I could go on 2 weeks vacation and only pack 1 suitcase.
Men’s new shoes don’t cause blisters, or cut or mangle their feet.-Neither do mine.
Men don’t have to stop and think which way to turn a screw.-Neither do I.
Men have one mood all the time.-No, you really don’t.
A wedding dress cost $5000. A tuxedo rental – 100 bucks.-Possibly true on the last part, but I have a dress that I would be fine wearing to a wedding that only cost 60 bucks to own.
Men can open all their own jars.-So can I, and I am one of the least fit people I know.
While I recognize that I don’t speak for all women, you don’t speak for all men either.
I have so much respect for you for making this comic.
There's two ways you can go about something like this. You can have the guts to say something outrageous, or the maturity to say something clever. This is just a very mature comic, made to look the opposite. Woot.
this is first time I have commented here. Generally I love your comics but this one did not work for me. There is a lot about being a woman that is funny, weird and interesting; so it was a disappointment for me when you came up with nothing. Better luck nest time I suppose.
Actually, if you pay attention, this comic isn't commenting on any lack of disadvantages of being a woman, but the stupid ego of a man. The beauty of this comic is that it could be taken in several different ways – too bad you only notice the one that's a little offensive.
This comic depicts a stereotype men about women, but I found it funny anyway. Mainly because, I don't follow the stereotype of women. I don't even own a purse.
1. women can wear makeup to cover flaws; if a guy has bad skin, we see it all
2. women basically drink free at bars while guys pay double
3. if we cry we can pretty much get out of anything. speeding tickets, a bad grade, getting reprimanded at work for something legitimate… a guy would probably be considered a pussy
wow there was a s**t ton of comments this time and from such a simple strip too xD i must say i read most of these and men do have it easier than women 😛 cant wait till mon. adam 😀
also i dont mean to say that i from reading everyones comments i decided that guys gots it easier than gals thats wat i think myself but i am saying i agree with alot of these comments :O
My friends and I joke about a the contents of a handbag belonging to another friend; it's similar to the contents of my trunk. It usually includes a mirror, receipts, SD cards, batteries, a solar charger, bandages, bandaids, cloth strips, gauze pads, hydrogen peroxide, a compass, an extra t-shirt, flipflops, socks, duct tape, medical tape, medical popsicle sticks, a pocket knife, a hatchet, a foil blanket, her cell, a camera, a headlamp, a tape measurer, a hammer/screwdriver multitool, crayons, a notebook, loose change, paperclips, a wallet, a spade, a ~20 bundle of cord, string, bubble soap, hotel soap, sailboat shackles, a whistle, homemade mace, sunglasses and paint.
Ha! Awesome. Yes, our purses make all the difference. :-p Unless you're Joey and carry the Man Purse. PS. All the overly sensitive and whiny commentary was so lame. Seriously people, get over yourselves.
Ha Ha Nice! My shoe collection consists of a pair of tennis shoes and some crocs. Not very impressive. But hey, I can always steal so of my mom’s shoes.
I use one of the satchels sold by Victorinox (of swiss army knife fame), and I honestly don't think I could survive without it! My phone, wallet, keys, etc. all go in there and STAY in there, so I'm never scrambling to find everything. Most importantly, I could never fit everything into my pants pockets.
Sorry, girl-bug: you don't even have a purse over us! 😀
Wow! ummm…Wow!
This gives me the LOLs for so MANY reasons!
don't forget the whole grabbable boobs thing.
Hah! I love ya Adam! You are soooooo in trouble with my xx genes though ;op

Peace out brother, just keep doing what you do and you will find it. (Apartment or partner. Don't forget time tells all)
Let’s see what you have to say about men.
I'm going to go ahead and guess…"Video Games, sleeping, and lots of both (possibly at the same time!)"
@Mufin McFlufin. Yep sounds like a man I used to know, although you forgot egotistical.

"Let's see what you have to say about men"??
I'm a woman and I have no idea what you just said about women!
It's true, though. Other than big purses that hold more things than a closet, being a girl pretty much sucks.
Women have it better. 2 words: Multiple. Orgasms.
I rest my case.
Um… ever heard of a 'dry orgasm'? Anyway… I agree that men have it better, though that's not saying they're better. ^_^

Hah! I LOVE this! hehe, the 4th panel's the best, I can't wait to show this to my family. They are gonna laaaaaaaaaaaugh!
By the way, are you gonna do a disadvantages to being a woman comic? lol cuz there's plenty of material there!
haha this reminds me of the 50's style looney tunes black and white instructional featurettes.. the last panel would definitely be daffy duck
Maybe having to go to the toilets in groups? Is that an advantage?
What! I cant believe you forgot the boobies.
Its like the key to having free anything!
A couple of days ago, my brother wrote me the following on MSN:

You forgot the endless supply of free drinks when they go out to the bar.
It seems like you didn't even try very hard for this one. But it's still funny as hell. It's great how the most minimal amount of material in a comic can make one laugh so hard. I raise my glass to you sir!
Wow people are overthinking this WAY to much.
Truly funny and simple comic Adam… 😀
This comic has perfectly captured the essence of the male ego. Love it! Keep em coming, Adam.
I know plenty of women who would agree with you. Women got the raw end of the deal…except for the boobs. Boobs are like a free pass to anything
You ass. Ha! My genes should probably make me wanna punch you, but it still makes me giggle.
Even the purse sucks…weighs too much, rubs, and men want you to put their sh..stuff in it (keys, sunglasses….)
Once a woman has a kid, she can instantly trump any suffering a guy goes through.
GUY: oh my god, i just sliced off my hand with a rusty buzz saw!!!
WOMAN: oh yeah? I had to go through twenty hours of labor!
GUY (holding still-spurting stump): you win.
I was going to point out that women get the advantage of boobs… but it seems from the other comments that we're already known for our boobs and large purses alone. Someday those two characteristics will come together in the perfect storm and we shall rule the world! (or not)

Men have one wallet and one pair of shoes which are good for every season.

Now let's hear the other side
Wow, shows just how smart men are when it comes to the female gender. All those are just things portrayed by women on TV shows. TV shows that were no doubt written by men.
Men can eat a banana in a male dominated work place without being ogled..

Panel 4 is definitely my favorite, it's really cool how you gave the girl bug the satisfaction of cursing you out. Excellent, excellent comic Adam!
Are you gonna make a 'disadvantages of being a woman' for Monday too?
I love the simplicity of this comic. A great way to end the week. My girlfriend flipped when I read this around her. All I said was "true, true."
Don't forget menstrual cramps and making less money. Oh, wait, I mean having purses. Man backs are coming back, BTW
You forgot that we can pull the sexism card whenever needed XD
xD LOL!
i love this 😀
and i'm a girl
No hell from this woman. Still love your stuff 😀
To paraphrase Phoebe: That’s so funny! I mean, officially I’m offended–but funny!
Great one, Adam.
So you should do one for being a man now, right?
this is first time I have commented here. Generally I love your comics but this one did not work for me. There is a lot about being a woman that is funny, weird and interesting; so it was a disappointment for me when you came up with nothing. Better luck nest time I suppose.

I'm a woman who doesn't usually carry a purse — but now I want one sooo bad. This is a great one!
Adam, I simply love you. XD I'm a girl, and I lol'd at this so hard. Keep it up!
This comic depicts a stereotype men about women, but I found it funny anyway. Mainly because, I don't follow the stereotype of women. I don't even own a purse.
These are some of the coolest, most interesting comments I've seen on any web site in quite some time. Well, except THIS one, of course.
"I know I’m going to catch hell for this one." Reading above me, I see you were right. 0.o
Excellent job. XD

Men can walk around with big bags too.
My friends and I joke about a the contents of a handbag belonging to another friend; it's similar to the contents of my trunk.

*~20"
I will be road-tripping with you guys from now on.
Ha! Awesome. Yes, our purses make all the difference. :-p Unless you're Joey and carry the Man Purse. PS. All the overly sensitive and whiny commentary was so lame. Seriously people, get over yourselves.
Bug is all awesome all the time.
You can always fend off burglars with your shoe collection…
Ha Ha Nice! My shoe collection consists of a pair of tennis shoes and some crocs. Not very impressive. But hey, I can always steal so of my mom’s shoes.
Multiple orgasms.
*looks in purse* HA! you're right! 2 blindfolds!
I use one of the satchels sold by Victorinox (of swiss army knife fame), and I honestly don't think I could survive without it!
